HULX lets us know the metaphysical score in his latest composition, SURREALISM

Posted on 11 May 2022

Transcend reality by the hand of the University of Westminster music student, HULX, via his latest instrumental composition, SURREALISM. I don’t know about you, but I’ll take any escape from this material-mortal coil I can get my existentially lovebitten mind on. And under HULX’s futuristic and imaginative duress, you’d struggle to get further away from our battery farm of an unromantic existence.

The sonorous score is cinematically crafted through HULX’s already virtuosic flair over a set of keys, but there’s just enough space dust to take you to a new plateau of consciousness that reminds you of the true beauty of the human experience. It pours through the inexplicably intuitive progressions.

SURREALISM is now available to stream via Spotify.

Sending us into a whirlpool of emotions that have you wondering deeply into this strange planet that can keep you underwater until you have a plan to stay afloat, D.In.Ge.Cc.O is the type of artist you press play when you see his music, and never turn back.

The floodgates open in Erica Pan’s contemporary classical composition, Torrent of Thoughts

Posted on 24 April 2022

If any young up and coming artist has the capacity to make you curse your misspent youth, it is the music composer, violinist and dancer Erica Pan. Despite being a high school student, her expressive talents have formed a resounding cohesion, as proven by her artful contemporary piece, Torrent of Thoughts.

Torrent of Thoughts is a stunning crescendo-filled piece. Though it may be simple, the minimalism makes efficacious use of the minor key melodies that flow through progressions which stand as a testament to her ability to convey emotion through orchestral strings and pensive minor piano key.

You can check her out via YouTube.
